Carved Christmas Tree Ornament Swap

The Woodcarving Illustrated magazine runs a message board, where wood carvers can communicate with one another, ask questions, and otherwise spout off. One of the things that the Board facilitates is an exchange of carved Christmas tree ornaments. This year there are 18 carvers participating. Each carver carves 18 ornaments and sends one to each person that is participating. I have received four of these swap ornaments so far. I have participated in this swap the past two years, so I am getting quite a nice collection of hand carved ornaments.
